fucking nokia.

Ok, so yesterday i went to leeds. Long story short, managed to wipe ALL the contacts off my phone, as well as about 6500 text messages.

This includes all the lyrics i was working on. Fuck.

Because i have not much better to do...

Well, first update in a while, I always thought I would get bored of this, or just forget about it or something.... Not that it really matters because, once again, no one reads these :D

Well, I am at home, and vaguely looking for a job. That is probably all, or all I can be bothered to type at this point in time.

Shoot! Bang! Fire!

Once again I have left you for a long time with no update, not that you actually exist, as I write these for myself, and nobody reads them.

Things are going well, i'm currently going through an obsessed with patrick wolf phase, have dyed my hair bright blond, and quite short (ish). I have a band, consisting of 8 or 9 members, and bought an accordion. We already have a gig penciled in, despite the fact that we haven't even practised yet! Should be interesting, but hey, life is interesting at the moment! Although on checking my bank balance today realised i was slightly more fucked than i thought i was....

I have almost finished my exams, i have one more left in 6 days, and presumably will start working for it in 5. I have to go and pack up all my musical things as I am about to have a 'jam' with the other guitarist.

Hello.

I think it has been a while since i have posted on here. A few things have changed. I am back in the vibrant city of leeds. I am back on the alcohol. I home people like fuck. I miss kraggy and matt like fuck. When are these people going to come up and visit me??

In two/one? day(s) time i will/will have filmed an interview with calvin harris. woo. I am so excited to meet such a legend. not. I really hope i will get to film Patrick Wolf, a real legend.

I still have not done the lab report that was due in for 01/05/09, and i lose 5% per day. woo. i also have maths and physics homeworks due in for today 05/05/09. woo. Dam alcohol.

Getting a band together is vaguely sort of going kinda well. Finding new random bands to listen to, on the other hand, is going very well. Today i went to see jeffrey lewis live at some random cinema and he and the support band were AMAZING.

also, i have monetised my blog, so feel free to click adverts and get me paid!

much love

Dam its been almost a month since i've posted on here! missed me? Anyway, i've had possibly the best easter ever, had so much fun at home, and now im back in leeds, it was sunny, now its not.

In other news, Patricks second single from the new album is AMAZING

A song i have recently rediscovered

My coco by stellastarr*

amazing song

New 'song'

ok its more of a composition, first one with proper strings

take a listen

today - my last day of term

My last day of term has been fucking awesome so far.

Starting from 12 midnight the previous day, i have been drunk, sobered up (vaguely) been to a reasonably funny tutorial (funny for a tutorial anyway), got drunk again, been to a waves and vibrations lecture... drunk... drunk some more, got a bit high, then slept and sobered up for a few hours, and now i am drinking again in preparation for the cockpit finale of the year

plus the weather has been amazing

im talking true sunglasses weather

i am happy

finally, a vague update

i just had a massive stroke (?) of inspiration, and an urge to arrange some amazing strings parts.

not very suprisingly this occured whilst watching one of the lightspeed champion studio reports.

unfortunatly

it is going to go to waste

as not only do i not have a decent program for synthesising strings

i also do not really have the time :(

luckily, i will hopefully be able to download some of the software when i get home, and then i will have shit loads of free time to write some decent anti-folk style strings/drums/guitar parts


will be rocking
:)

SILLY DRUNKEN MESSAGES

AGAIN. but still, last night was quite shit.

What i have been doing for the last 2 hours

check out the hall chronicles myspace, the link is somewhere below, eventually there will be a new 'song' on it called cliffs of dover, take a listen.

It is completely different to all the electronic stuff i have uploaded before. ok i have tried to upload it to here as a video. hopefully it will work.

ok it didnt. you will just have to wait for myspace to allow it to be played.

in related news, i no longer have enough room left on that profile to upload any more songs.

check dis shit out

no, really, its shit.

this is the website of things i make when im bored. mostly in fruity loops.

dont expect anything... musical

update

as i have not posted here in a while

or at least, not posted anything with much meaning

apart from relating to a possibly definite libertines reunion...

wellll, i have not been up to much over the last few weeks, on friday i got so drunk i couldnt remember anything the morning after, well, apart from random flashbacks of me going up to people in my hall and hugging them.... the videos are on facebook! they are funny.

today i had two lectures, i went in for neither of them. a maths workshop and a computing lecture, neither of which i actually do any work in.

instead, i went in to uni to get basic provisions (being shampoo, nme (for the first time in a while), envelopes and stamps) .


that is all

all i really have to say is:

LIBERTINES REUNION

IN THE NEXT THREE MONTHS

oh also

yesterday made me realise what a ridiculous amount i know about music

well

decent music anyway

and it showed me that i actually do have a good memory

but i only remember stuff i like

like shit loads of random facts about bands :)

emmy:

quite simply, was amazing. it was a shame she didnt play canopies and grapes.

also, i am annoyed.

now that i am involved in filming for LS:music, i am hanging out with this guy called jamie. he is awesome. The closest thing i have to having my caterham friends up here with me. but he's leaving in march.

why cant more people up north be incredibly funny rather than just alcoholic?

Friend molding

It would seem that my leeds friends aren't enough like me

so i'm making them more like me

:)

i am improving their music taste, and making them more willing, heck, proactive, in the activity of going to cockpit as often as possible


In vaguely related news, i am going to be filming an inteview of emmy the great this friday at 4

i am fucking excited :)
x

OH MY GOD YOU ARE NEVER GOING TO BELIVE WHAT JUST HAPPENED TO ME

Ok, well, i got up, went to breakfast, thougth it was just going to be a normal average day, you know, nothing out of the ordinary, nothing too unusual. Wasn't i wrong? haha well, i went in to uni, and had 4 hours of labs. once again... not that exciting, but wait for it...

So, what happened then?

Nothing!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA i just wasted a few minutes of your life
:)

lolcats

I never fully got the first real lolcat image, you know, the "i can has cheezburger?" image. Mainly because, due to the poor grammar and whatnot of cats, i am not sure if it is asking if it can has cheezburger, or if it is simply saying in shock

"i can has cheezburger?"

as if it didnt expect to be getting the burger, and simply disbelives the fact that it is receiving such an item

this has also made me realise

i read far too into everything.


anyone who wants to enlighten me feel free!

I've just had an interesting thought

I could probably name most london venues from a random image of their interior


I miss gigs in london.

On the other hand though, i saw late of the pier last night at Leeds met

They were amazing :D

Why cant leeds be within (reasonable) walking distance of london?

I could have seen the cribs tonight, my dad had a spare ticket as my sister feels ill, buuuuut

i'm in leeds

and last minute travel isn't cheap

apart from on mega bus. BUT the only megabus would get me in at 9.45. far to late, i would miss EVERYTHING

AND

All the train tickets cos like £50 each. how fucking stupid is that??!

money grabbing monkey fuckers

I have decided.

To drink less. alot less. and to only go out twice a week (club nights wise)

one of these nights will definitely be cockpit on a Friday

it is amazing :)

also, i am going to go to more gigs, small ones, big ones, whatever.

i am becoming organised.

what i do every now and then

i go insane.

i have been writing down some clever lines to use in songs one day.

i might put them on here some time.

my confusions are becoming so vivid its dreams

My dreams are becoming so vivid its confusing

I am struggling to tell the difference between what has happened, and what i have dreamt...

for instance, has Lydia told me to keep my music down?? not that that really matters.

NEWMUSICBINGE :)

I have the new emmy the great album

it is amazing

:)

Texting whilst drunk

is not a good thing.

last night, i sent a variety of drunken texts, the best as follows:

One day i will able to phase through glass, and on that day, all hell will break loose, i will become the master of time.

its you, its me, its dancing!

SILLY DRUNKEN MESSAGES

the internet can't spell

Type centre into google

go to definition

and observe the bastardisation of the English language by americans

they don't even deserve a capital a.


"My life appears to be going in circles

neither the focus or radius are known"

aiiiiight?

I'm drunk,

you're hot,

i make that pims o'clock!

I'm drinking on my own.... again

Well, my life is quite confusing at this point in time.

I have worked some things out though:

I like being superfluous with my vocabulary, even if my spelling is abysmal.

I drink too much.

I am useless at writing words, but i hope that i will do a better job of writing music, with the words provided.

There's a first time for everything

Well, much to my dismay, it would seem i have writers block.

I have been trying to write a song, decent lyrics, or even a riff, but i seem to be incapable of doing any of it. How very very frustrating.

I need inspiration. I know where i could get it from, but i'm not sure if the required participator would be interested in participating...

Something to explain everything

Today has been a chaotic whirlwind of emotions, most notably of all, anger, as I'm sure, you, my thousands of readers have read the last two posts, i feel i should explain.

Up here in Leeds, there is this mystical place, known as the cockpit. Now, if i didn't know much more about it i would still feel compelled to love it, but, as it happens, there is an event, every Friday, known as sessions. For this event, lovers of what i can only really describe as good music conglomerate at the temple entrance, waiting for permission to pass inside. The best night in Leeds. God this is almost a fairy tail...

The mighty knight Rix felt compelled to find the new king and queen of the mighty kingdom of sessions, so called out for all the peasants in the land to come to the castle in their finest, and be judged. The winner was decided - a lowly alchemist - but it was felt due to his wizard like appearance and clothes that he was, in fact unsuitable for the role, despite being the favorite. Instead, the title was presented to lesser beings, much to the alchemists distress.

A few hours (and a substantial amount of food) later, the lowly alchemist realised that he was, in fact, the lucky one, able to come and go in the castle any time he wished for the next moon cycle, and still be able to be chosen for the task of king next time the knight decided a change was needed.

Ok that's a poor fairy tail.
On to other news, if there is any.

I want to enter the occupation of modelling. As i have done for quite some time, but alas there are a few major reasons why i am yet to make it:

1. I am pathologically lazy - Unless it can be easily achieved through the Internet, or its a basic need, it probably wont happen.
2. Modelling agencies are confusing - you don't know which ones are going to be good ones, or which ones are out to screw you over. I once saw a watchdog episode about modelling agencies that get money off you then don't get you any work - confidence boosting...
3. I have no experience. Plus I'm naturally a shy person, despite being quite outgoing (yes, i know, I'm an enigma ;D)
4. You can't tell which agencies online are big ones, and which ones are small, they all have fancy websites

Along with other reasons which are yet to evoke themselves.

Moving swiftly along, it would seem a small miracle has occurred in the form of me being able to walk once more - albeit very slowly.

I think that might be all, or at least, all the thoughts i had in my head at the beginning of this have been banished whilst typing this leviathan of unnecessary thought

Anger level demoted

ok, after eating alot, i feel better, its not like i havent been credited with the win.

Oh, and i officially suck at impulse buying; tried to do it, but managed to contain myself and realise that i didnt actually need any of it - isnt that the point on impulse buying?!

Anger level upgraded

Level upgraded from very calm to the most pissed off i have been in a long long long time.

Why you ask? I was winning a competition to become the new 'face' of friday night at cockpit, and, i must add, getting quite excited about it, but today, i got a message saying, that although i was the winner, they werent going to use my photo due to the fact that i was wearing a white jacket. When i replied saying that there was another one taken on a later date with me wearing a black waistcoat, i got the reply saying that they had already used two other photos.

SO, instead of fame and fortune, i get a month of guestlists (which would be 4, 5 in a good month). Not quite up to scratch.

Fuck you matty rix.

Exams go kaput ya?

WELL. I have finished my exams! that is all.

Ankle condition: improving, still can't walk :(

*Insert witty blog name here*

Well, Interesting day this has been! After a last minute decision to visit the cockpit last night for fun and frolics under the train arches i obviously though it a good idea to jump down a rather large flight of steps. Surprise surprise i managed to injure myself. Luckily enough i was so drunk i don't remember any of it! Woke up, this morning, moved my leg and was in hurrendous amounts of pain. Genuinly thought i had broken something, but i had sprained my ankle. Dam bad one at that, with a lump bigger than Germany. Apparently sprains can be as painful as breaking bones, and take as long to heal, so if anything... I can't remember where i was going with that.

So yeh, i'm going to be a little slower for a while

D-day

Well, physics 1 today, 3 hour exam with 45 minutes extra time... woo

I feel like im the only one on here not using this to describe all the intimate details of a loved one.

Ok so theres this girl, we met three years ago on a small island in the middle of the pacific, took a rowing boat back to america, then discovered we both had super powers and flew the rest of the way home

oh wait

no there isn't

SO, back to reality, J bird and knify come up friday, cant pretend im not looking forward to seeing them, cos i am. Will be weird though, seeing them in leeds, always is. Its like two completely sepparate worlds colliding and is usually quite an emotional experiance.

Why am i using my last few hours of revision time to blog?!

One of the mysterys of life. The human race would be a lot more prosperous if work were an enjoyable activity. Well, i guess i just need to find something i enjoy doing. Not that i don't enjoy doing physics, in fact, weirdly enough, i do, its just revision.

So yeh, i should get on with it

Blog-o-rific!

Well, a lot can change in a day, i have gone from being quite relaxed about my first exam, to being absolutely boned. The reason for this, is that contrary to what i belived for the last two weeks, i infact have a 3 hour what the fuck is this? physics exam tomorrow, not a 2 hour a-level further maths piss easy stroll-a-thon as i thought. The exam itself takes place at 2pm tomorrow, i realised my mistake at 4.30 today. I still plan on going out tonight...

Is there a problem with that?

No, i thought not. so i've spent the last 3 hours typing up equations for 2/3 of the physics i have learnt so far (as the electro mag work is too messed up (aka my notes are in the wrong order, and... wait, i didn't even write notes...)). This is all i plan on doing. So sue me.

Luckily what i need to know (or 2/3 of what i need to know) isn't particularly difficult.... but the chances are, i am subconsciously ignoring the horrendous equations....

So here i am, listening to Le Justice, eating rich tea biscuits, drinking fosters, and trying not to think about physics...

My cow broke today, i would like to blame the printer, but i know its actually my fault for neglecting it (genuinly true).

Also, i have rediscovered the joys of mmorpgs, in the form of the free (for the next 2 months, until it shuts down for good) tabula rasa. Great time to start playing eh? in the middle of exams?

University life isn't so bad now, i have settled in, and am now looking forward to my first night out! I have retrieved my pathetic excuse for an amplifier from the dark corners of my wardrobe, and given my guitar life once more, although i am still to actually unpack my bag.......

one day, one day.

Some how i doubt anyone actually does or will read this.

The rantings of a young fool

A few facts about moi

Two posts in one day ooooh contraversial!

Favourite band: The Libertines
Favourite TV series: Futurama
Favourite movie: The Matrix
Favourite city: London
Favourite venue: Brixton academy
Favourite club night: The session, friday night at cockpit
Favourite festival: Reading (08 if i had to choose)
Favourite pub: The hyde park
Favourite spirit and mixer: Whiskey and coke
Favourite beer: Fosters
Favourite random funny pictures page: icanhascheezburger.com

blah blah blah etc

Whatever feels the need to flicker into my head

First blog eh? I will try to make it witty (or just random) in places, but it will probably end up as more of a rant.

So how is the life of this late-teen prodigy I hear you ask? Well I'm back in Leeds about to jump head first into my first set of exams. What a joyous occasion... These past few years have been... well, interesting, to say the least. High points include Reading festival, the legendary Amped, and err many other events, most of which have been banished to the corners of my memory (unwillingly I must add), only to be called back with copious amounts of prompting. What am I getting at? I have a bad memory. That is all.

My guitar playing ability has increased to unusual heights to include the rare art of 'soloing' which I have become rather apt at. And so I should after 8 years of playing. My current band (whom are yet to be named) are a reasonable bunch, talented, motivated, reasonably arrogant (the average arrogance bought up from normal by a traditionally big headed front man) and although the music played is not the music I desire, it will suffice. For now.

Over the next few weeks I hope to update this with news of various occurrences. This is not a guarantee, this is a maybe.
